The Synagogue Shooting in San Diego

We, the Seattle King County NAACP, are disturbed and saddened by the hate crimes that have galvanized our communities and places of worship recently. We are aware of the shooting at a synagogue outside of San Diego where worshippers were celebrating the last day of Passover. Four people were sent to the hospital on Saturday, where one later died. What we now know is the alleged gunman posted an online "manifesto" in which he criticized Jews and celebrated the slayings of 50 Muslims at shootings at two mosques in New Zealand last month.

The NAACP is a Civil Rights organization that is openly accepting to all faiths, we offer our condolences to those families who lost loved ones, and pray for recovery in the community of San Diego and our own.
